You earned the degree, now get the respect. Nurses are vital to quality patient care, and in the AirForce, they’re treated that way. Our nurses are respected members of a team of highly trained medical and healthcare professionals who work in state-of-the-art medical facilities or aeromedical evacuation units around the world. Being an Emergency Room Nurse in the AirForce can be a bit different than in a civilian setting. Stateside, the cases will be similar to the ones you see now. But if you go overseas, you could be called on to handle cases that push your skills to the limit and beyond. You’ll get to focus on one thing: being a world-class nurse.

Critical Care Nurse
Family Nurse Practitioner
Mental Health Nurse
Obstetric Nurse
Operating Room Nurse
Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner
